I hope you're all enjoying the Christmas holidays! I'm having some time off, trying to just relax a little together with my family who has travelled down from Sweden. Below a few mobile photos from our Christmas at home... See you soon!

A few weeks ago I was invited to try out a brand new boutique hotel in Marseille, ALEX Hotel. The hotel is ideally located in the city centre a few minutes walk from the monumental stairs of the main train station Saint Charles. Designed by the architechts from TOGU studio, the hotel has a classic external architecture with a classified facade. However, the interior design has a contemporary and eclectic vibe, where modern concrete desks flirt with traditional cement tiles.

In line with Marseille's diversity, each floor has its own colour: orange, green, blue and grey/red. My room was located on the top 4th floor (in grey/red). I loved the breathtaking view of Marseille, but also the sober design and the excellent bedding comfort - essential!

The 21 rooms and Junior Suites are designed as unique rooms, which all have a similar look but where furniture, accessories and wall prints are never identical. And as a guiding thread throughout the hotel: the amazing cement tiles matching the colours of each floor.

I'm so late with everything this year that I haven't even finished showing you everything from our blog tour in Amsterdam in October... Well, in this round up from the trip I first of all want to show you a few more photos from Volkshotel, the hotel that I already mentioned here but which turned out to be even more cool in reality...

We were lucky to once more be able to use the excellent services of Uber to get around Amsterdam (just as we did on our blog tour in Stockholm). What I like the most about Uber is that it's so easy and quick to use. Just download their app on your phone, register and order your cab.Encore une fois, on a eu la chance de pouvoir profiter de l'excellent service d'Uber pour nous déplacer à travers Amsterdam (comme on l'avait déjà fait à notre blog tour à Stockholm). Ce que j'aime bien avec Uber, c'est que c'est très facile et rapide d'utilisation. Il suffit de télécharger leur app sur son téléphone, s'enregistrer et commander son taxi.

I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with the famous bean bag Fatboy, a worldwide success created by Finnish designer Jukka Setälä and launched by Fatboy in 2002... But this Dutch brand also offers a range of other cool products that we had the chance to discover at our latest blog tour in Amsterdam.

Inspired by everyday products, Fatboy likes to give them an extra little twist, like the Baboesjka pouffe collection for which a whole new range of patterns and colours will be launched in 2015, including a leather strap...

... or the Edison lamp that comes in several sizes (one very big), and the "concrete" stools that were perfect for seating all our guests at the dinner table. Fatboy will also launch in 2015 the oversized and super soft blanket that you can see below.
